Explanations
- The Jets have won their last two games– and both teams have winning records. They’ve earned enough respect from me to be in a regular tier.
- I’ve dropped Miami a tier because of their QB situation.
- What has happened to Arizona?
- I know the Browns lost to the Jets, but I’ll give them a COVID pass and not drop them a tier.
- The NFC East has seen a late season surge and I’m pretty surprised.
- Update: Chicago is surging late.
